Ángel-Luis Pujante Álvarez-Castellanos (Murcia, May 31, 1944) is a Spanish philologist and translator, emeritus professor of English Philology at the University of Murcia.

Biography

Graduated in Modern Philology (English and German) from the University of Barcelona and Doctor in English Philology from the University of Salamanca, he furthered his studies at several universities and centers in England and the United States. He has given lectures at numerous Spanish universities, as well as at Manchester, Leeds, Hull, Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Pisa, Bucharest, La Plata and Oxford, and at various institutions such as the “Globe Theatre” of London, the European Commission (Brussels and Luxembourg), the National Library of Montevideo and the Book Museum of the National Library of Buenos Aires.

Shakespeare scholar and translator, he has dedicated most of his research activity to the work of said writer, his translation and his reception in Spain and Europe, especially through the project “The presence of Shakespeare in Spain in the framework of its European reception”, of which he was principal investigator and in which he continues as a collaborator. He has published numerous articles, books and editions, both in Spain and abroad. He is the author of The Shakespearean manuscript of Manuel Herrera Bustamante and Shakespeare arrives in Spain, and has co-edited, among others, Shakespeare in Spain: Texts 1764-1916, Four Hundred Years of Shakespeare in Europe, 'Hamlet' in Spain: the four neoclassical versions, Shakespeare in Spain. Bilingual annotated bibliography (National Award for the best interuniversity co-edition 2015), Romeo and Juliet in Spain: the neoclassical versions and Othello in Spain: the neoclassical version and related works (National Award for the best interuniversity co-edition 2021). He is honorary president of ESRA (European Shakespeare Research Association).

Pujante has been translating Shakespeare's dramatic works since 1986, most of which, accompanied by extensive introductions and notes, are published in the Austral collection of Espasa Libros, and all of them in their editions of theTeatro Selecto and Complete Theater by William Shakespeare (Espasa Clásicos). In 1998 she won the National Translation Prize for her Spanish version of La tempestad. He translates Shakespeare's white pentameter into free verse, not measured, but with a fairly constant and measured rhythm, with verses generally no longer than fifteen syllables; and with rhymed verse the rhymed passages. This differentiates him from the other translators of Shakespeare's works into Spanish: Valverde and Astrana, because they translated them into prose; de Conejero and the Shakespeare Institute, because they use free verses of much more variable length and, sometimes, much longer (even more than twenty syllables per pentameter).
